Tile repair in Goldthorpe without replacing anything
We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will tell you. We regularly repair marble, porcelain tiles and ceramic tiles, and the jobs we see most are drill holes from removed fittings and cracked floor tiles.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Goldthorpe as everywhere else we work. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

How we price tile repair
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear photos are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The material, if you know it
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire tiled area, we can price the job.
When we would advise against a repair
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
- Whole walls of failing grout
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Marble
- Porcelain tiles
- Ceramic tiles
- Floor and wall tiles
- Natural stone & granite
Do you need tile repair in Goldthorpe?
Floor tiles chip when pans, tins and tools are dropped, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Cracks can also come from movement in the floor below.
People usually call us when they notice something like this:
- Discontinued tiles you can’t replace
- Cracked floor tiles
- Damaged tile edges
- Chips from dropped pans and tools
What to look for in a quote
- How to care for the finish
- How soon you can use it again
- How your room will be protected
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

What information do you need?

Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.
Can you quote from photos?

Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?
Generally, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
